This book just might be the best investment you ever make.

It’s also the most affordable investment you’ll ever make. Write for the Web is only $23. That’s less than the price of a movie, popcorn, and soda. For one.

By the time the movie ends, you’ll be full of fake butter and sticky soda, talking excitedly to your friends about how the plot was so awesome and how the hero was no one’s slave, man!

Then you’ll go home. And you’ll still have no idea how to be a freelance writer.

If you took the money you were going to spend on two hours of movie and junk food and bought Write for the Web instead, you’d know everything you need to set up your freelance writing business so you could work from home, in your pajamas, and get paid good money doing something you love.
